HB 1485 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Requires drivers of motor vehicles that are primarily the same color as the surface the vehicle is driving on to drive with their headlights illuminated

HB 1485 requires drivers to keep their vehicle headlights on at all times when the vehicle's primary color matches the color of the road surface (e.g., a white car on snow). This applies to all drivers operating vehicles that blend with the road, aiming to improve visibility for other road users. The bill defines "headlights" and clarifies that this requirement is separate from existing rules for nighttime driving or poor weather. It directly affects drivers of vehicles that visually match their driving surface, creating a new standard for headlight use based on color contrast.
